Rules

The tournament will be in English, unless Japanese is agreed upon by both parties.

Timing starts on file select on a
Main Deck 00:00 file at the moment the option is selected to start game, and ends when Samus faces
forward when beamed by her ship after defeating Omega Metroid

Safety saves are permitted

Streaming is required, and you
must keep your stream up until the IGT appears at
the end of the credits. You may not have anything covering the IGT on stream

For console streaming, you can
use the Game Cube with the Game Boy Player attachment (You can either
use the official start up disc, or if you can load homebrew, Game Boy Interface is also acceptable, be sure to use the Low-Latency version for best results)

If you have a capture modded DS, that will be acceptable as well

It is preferred to use an
official cart, but a flash cart
with the rom is also acceptable

You can also use the Wii U
Virtual Console and 3DS Virtual Console versions if you have those with
English text, and can stream it

Use of LUA scripts is banned

Players are expected to play 1 match per week, unless legitimate unforseen circumstances do not allow

VBA (All Versions) is banned, use the latest version of BizHawk. If you need help getting it set up, click here.
If you need further assistance, let an admin know.

Tournament Format

If both runners do not have an RTA PB, a higher seed will be selected at random.

All Speed Runs Live (SRL) racing rules apply.
All participants must use approved emulators/consoles and stream their
races. We recommend that you locally save your race-stream file in the
event that your stream is disconnected and you are “proofcalled” on your
time. If you are not registered with SRL, please do so now.
If you do not know how to set up or use an SRL account, please contact a
moderator for assistance. Once the race is completed, please get in
contact with a member of the admin team to update the standings and
times.

Scheduled matches need to be played before the specified deadline for each round.

You
will be given 7 days to play each match. We
realize that a tournament of this magnitude has a lot of people with a
lot of schedules to work around. That being said, if you schedule a
match with someone and then bail on the scheduled time without prior
notice, you may be removed from the tournament at the organizer's
discretion.

Any disputes will be handled by the mod team, who
will have final say in all matters. Should a member of the mod team be
involved in the dispute, that member will have no say in the final
decision.
